I don't like them at all, I think 19" fit the car best, I can't image driving over North Jersey roads with anything bigger than that.

I've never even considered getting 22" wheels on my e60

To each its own, I prefer having 20". I think it's the best size for e60 ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

TO ALL YOU FOLKS WITH YOUR QUESTIONS AND YOUR COMMENTS. "NO THEY DONT RUB" FRONT OR BACK . I AM A RIM AND TIRE WHOLESALER IN THE BAY AREA, SO FOR ME ITS A SELLING TOOL NOT THE BLING BLING SOME OF YOU MAY SAID. SO YEAH ITS LOOKS BEFORE PERFORMANCE FOR ME , BUT I HAVE HIT 140MPH RACING A FRIENDS 350 WITH NO PROBLEM. SO THE PERFORMANCE IS STILL THERE. LUCKILY THE ZENETTIS FORGED WHEELS I SWITCHED FROM THE DONZ WHEELS TOO ARE ALOT LIGHTER SO THE ACCELERATION IS THE SAME I HADE WITH MY 20 INCH LOWENHARTS WITH CAST CENTERS. THE OVERALL HEIGHT OF THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE ABOUT A 1 1/2 INCH TALLER THAN MY STOCK MINI ME 17'S SO ITS NOT TOO MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE THAN WHAT U THINK. WELL IF THERE IS ANY MORE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK

Nice to hear from you

So just to clearify something, you did a simple fender roll front and rear and your offsets are high 20s and that was it? Direct bolt on? No shaving parts or anything odd?
